In a groundbreaking move toward environmental sustainability, OVPolymers, a pioneering Dutch company, has announced the relocation of its manufacturing facility from Zwolle to Lelystad. The strategic shift aims to expand their production capacity for the creation of innovative sustainable plastics, which are composed of 30% coffee grounds and 70% bioplastic or recycled plastic materials.

The decision to move the factory to Lelystad underscores OVPolymers’ commitment to driving positive change within the plastics industry, reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional plastic production methods. By integrating coffee grounds, a renewable and biodegradable resource, into their plastic composition, the company aims to significantly decrease the reliance on fossil fuels, thereby mitigating carbon emissions.
